Altruismed was created to initiate and
spread kind acts, but also to study how the
simplest of kind interactions between strangers can evolve into great
altruistic actions, feelings and events.

Similar to the butterfly effect, one small
kind act has massive potential. The act of selfless giving creates
happiness, peace, and harmony; wonderful feelings that should be shared.

In my quest to research, document and share
altruistic feelings, I started by randomly and secretly treating someone
to breakfast, leaving a business card sized note: "Altruismed.com
How far can one act of kindness reach?" (News/Blog
6-11-09) but an accidental encounter (detailed
on the Altruisms page) that may have saved someone's life was the true inception of this life changing experience; an experience that I hope will continue on and
someday be a worldwide effort in kindness.

As recipients of an Altruism or those who
would like to start an Altruism visit the site, they are asked to pass
on a card accompanied by any act of kindness. They are also asked
to e-mail any feelings they have about being Altruismed or passing it
on.
